"Miss Bailing, may I ask if you're in a relationship with Mr. Ju Zisheng?"
"Miss Bailing, have you ever lived together with Mr. Ju Zisheng?"
"Miss Bailing, are you pregnant with Mr. Ju Zisheng's child?"
"Miss Bailing, could you please answer our questions?"
"Miss Bailing..."
The boring questions from the reporters came at Bailing like a flood. Wearing sunglasses and a mask, she followed what Ju Zisheng had told her, pretending not to hear anything and just kept walking with her head down.
Although she seemed cold on the surface, inside she was already in a panic. She felt her heart was pounding to the limit, and even breathing became a bit difficult. If it weren't for the sunglasses, she might have fainted from the frequent flashes.
Under the joint protection of her agent and the security guards, Bailing safely left the airport and got into the car prepared by the company.
The reporters didn't get any useful information, so they had no choice but to go back and were ready to write some random stories.
At this moment, one of the reporters suddenly shouted, "I've got the latest news about Bailing and Ju Zisheng. First come, first served. The highest bidder gets it. Hurry up and grab it!"
Hearing this, all the other reporters who had got nothing were like people getting help in the snow. They rushed over quickly, scrambling for it just like in a supermarket sale.
And all this was within the company's plan.
As mentioned before, they needed to stir up the situation and let the public opinion reach a new height before the official announcement of their relationship.
So false information was needed as a catalyst. If it was one - sided false information, the company would surely defend its rights through legal means and would definitely win in the end. To avoid such troubles, the company arranged for someone to spread false information on purpose. In this way, they could skip the judicial process and didn't need to protest.
After getting in the car, Bailing took off her glasses and took a break.
She cried and said that this was the scariest scene she had ever seen since her debut.
She had no idea that the gossip in the entertainment circle could have such a big impact on a person.
Thinking of this, Bailing did feel a bit regretful. She thought she shouldn't have appeared with Ju Zisheng that night, and definitely shouldn't have done so many intimate things. As a public figure, doing nothing might be better than being an ordinary person.
Since she was back in the country, she had to go home first to pack up and then rush to some announcements. So Bailing took the company's car and went home to rest.
Her parents had been waiting at home for a long time. As soon as Bailing entered the house, besides the normal greetings, she felt that her parents' emotions were a bit strange. Their expressions seemed half - smiling, as if they were hiding something.
"Dad, Mom, what's wrong? Why do I feel... you seem a bit weird?"
Unable to bear this atmosphere, Bailing bravely spoke out.
"No, nothing," Bailing's parents glanced at each other and smiled, saying nothing, but their expressions looked a bit embarrassed.
"Have you also heard some rumors?"
Bailing thought that besides the thing between her and Ju Zisheng, there was nothing else that could make her parents act like this.
"Sigh," Bailing's father sighed and said, "Since that thing happened to you, our lives have been in a mess. Every day, there are people coming to our door for an interview. If you ignore them, they'll just wait at the door and take pictures of you when you go out."
"At night, there are people wandering around the house, as if waiting for something. A few times, your mom almost had a heart attack from being scared when she went out."
Hearing this, Bailing noticed that her parents looked a bit haggard.
She thought that what she had done shouldn't have affected her family. She really didn't know what those reporters were thinking. Didn't they have any humanity?
Bailing was a bit angry. She gritted her teeth and said, "These scumbags! How could they do such a thing! Dad, Mom, if they do this again tonight, just take pictures of them. I'll use it as evidence to sue them. I'll let the company handle it and we'll surely have a peaceful life again."
"Okay, okay," Bailing's parents replied, "As long as we can have a quiet and comfortable life."
Now that Bailing had become a big star, there was no lack of money. After the basic living needs were met, the two old people just wanted to live in peace and enjoy their later years.
As a daughter, Bailing didn't want her parents to be disturbed all the time. So she dialed Mr. Ye's phone number.
"Hello, is this Mr. Ye?" As soon as the call was connected, Bailing asked anxiously. She was eager to solve this problem.
But the person on the other end of the phone wasn't Mr. Ye. It was Mr. Ye's secretary, Miss Zhang, a cute girl who had just graduated not long ago. She was polite to these big stars. After all, she was still a child at heart.
"Sorry, Mr. Ye is in a meeting now. Are you Miss Bailing? Well, I'll make a note of this. After Mr. Ye finishes the meeting, I'll arrange for him to call you back, okay?"
Hearing this, Bailing thought that she shouldn't interrupt Mr. Ye's work. So she said, "It's okay. Let Mr. Ye finish the meeting first. I'll contact him later when I'm free."
"Okay, okay."
After Miss Zhang said that, she hung up Bailing's phone. Bailing had no choice but to sigh. Thinking about these strange experiences recently, she really felt tired. Coupled with the dozens of hours of long - distance flight, she was now physically and mentally exhausted. All she wanted was to take a good bath and have a sound sleep.
At this moment, Mr. Ye was having a secret meeting with colleagues from the operation department, the publicity department and other departments, along with Ju Zisheng.
Ju Zisheng got off the plane earlier. On the surface, he wanted to separate from Bailing to avoid the embarrassment of showing up together again. But actually, he needed to meet up with Mr. Ye and the others to attend this secret meeting to discuss the specific plan for the proposal.
After getting off the plane, everyone had a quick meal and then rushed to the company for this secret meeting.
They specifically told the secretary not to tell others what kind of meeting they were having. Just let people know that they were in a meeting.
"Colleagues from the operation department, please start. Do you have any good plans?" Mr. Ye asked.
"Okay. We've drafted several plans. Now I'll briefly introduce what the possible plans are. Everyone, please give your opinions later and we'll discuss them further, especially Mr. Ju Zisheng."
The colleague from the operation department specifically mentioned, "Mr. Ju Zisheng is the one who will finally carry out the plan. If there are any problems, please raise them as soon as possible so that we can modify the plan to better suit you."
"Okay, I will. Now start talking about the plans." Ju Zisheng said.
